The Goethe-Institut Manila proudly presents “Finding Normal," an exhibition of recent works by abstract painter Lindslee. The exhibit, which opens on October 14, 2006 will be the first show by a local artist to be held at the new Goethe-Institut premises in Makati.

Painter Lindslee, born Lindsey James Alvarez Lee, hails from Bacolod. He majored in Painting at the University of Santo Tomas before pursuing further training in Mixed Media, Drawing, Painting, Color and Composition at the Arts Students League of New York in 2000. While in the US, Lindslee opened his first solo show at the Harrison Public Library in New York. He also participated in exhibits around New York at the Flinn Gallery, Pleiades Gallery and Kennedy Plaza, and won a number of prizes in various art competitions.

Lindslee returned to the Philippines in 2002. He held his first solo show at the Avellana Art Gallery soon after his arrival. Since then, he has held numerous other shows and received much critical acclaim. In particular, his 2003 show “Cause and Effect” earned him a slot as a finalist at the 2004 Ateneo Art Awards.

“Finding Normal” is a showcase of his latest works, which are done in mixed media. Each of them attempts to address the question “what is normal?” and gives varying perspectives on the search for normalcy.

“Finding Normal” opens on October 14, 2006, 6:00 pm at the Goethe-Institut Manila, 5/F Adamson Centre, 121 L.P. Leviste St. Salcedo Village, Makati City. The exhibit will also be featured at the institute’s Open House on October 18, 2006 to celebrate the formal opening of the Goethe-Institut Manila’s new Makati office. “Finding Normal” runs until October 23, 2006. Admission is free.
